A well-designed shelving system has to do more than hold books. It may need to display objects, organize daily essentials, create a backdrop for work, and bring definition to an open-plan room. The Arundel Colonnade Modular Shelving System was designed to bring those needs together in one architectural composition.
With floor-to-ceiling aluminum columns, white oak shelves, ultra-clear glass, concealed storage, and integrated warm lighting, Arundel gives each part of a storage wall a distinct role.
Open Shelves for the Things Worth Seeing
The upper and front areas of the Arundel configuration combine glass and wood shelving for open display. These surfaces provide a place for books, art objects, decorative pieces, and personal collections to become part of the room.
Ultra-clear glass helps preserve an open visual effect, while white oak shelves add a more grounded material contrast. The combination allows a display to feel layered rather than uniform: some objects can sit against the warmth of wood, while others can appear to float against glass.
The system’s shelf edges also help create a more defined outline around displayed items. This gives the full wall a clean, structured appearance without turning it into a closed cabinet.
Enclosed Storage for Everyday Organization
Not every item needs to remain visible. Arundel includes a floating drawer unit and sliding glass-door display cabinets to support a more balanced approach to organization.
The lower drawers can accommodate smaller everyday items that are better kept out of sight. The glass-door cabinets create an in-between option: objects remain visible, but are separated from the open shelving around them.
This mix of open, glazed, and concealed storage makes it easier to create a display that feels intentional. Books and décor can remain accessible on open shelves, while less visual items can be placed in drawers or cabinets to keep the overall composition calm.
Integrated Warm Lighting for a More Considered Display
Arundel’s concealed 3000K warm LED lighting runs through the glass shelf areas, bringing soft illumination to the system after daylight hours.
The lighting helps define the shelving as more than a storage solution. It can highlight the contrast between glass, wood, and displayed objects, creating a more layered appearance in the evening. In a living room, it can support a relaxed atmosphere around a display wall. In a home office or executive setting, it can add depth behind a desk or seating area.
Because the lighting is integrated into the shelving composition, it supports the overall design rather than introducing a separate visual element.
One System, Two Spatial Roles
Arundel can be installed against a wall, where it becomes a full-height storage and display feature. It can also function as a freestanding room divider, defining different zones while preserving visual connection across an open space.
As a wall system, it can turn an underused surface into a composed background for a living room, dining room, or home office. As a divider, its vertical columns and open shelving can help distinguish one area from another without relying on a fully enclosed partition.
This makes Arundel especially relevant for interiors where storage must do more than occupy a perimeter wall. It can contribute to the layout of the room itself.
A Modular Format for Different Dimensions
The pictured Arundel configuration measures 203.94 inches wide, 114.19 inches high, and 14.38 inches deep. Its modular structure also allows for more tailored planning.
Column heights can be customized from 2,000 mm to 3,000 mm, providing options for a range of ceiling heights. Each bay has a fixed width of 1,000 mm, and the overall system can be extended laterally by adding further columns and shelves.
Material customization is available across columns, glass, wood boards, and sintered-stone surfaces. This gives homeowners and design professionals a way to shape the system around a room’s dimensions and material palette while preserving the essential Arundel language of vertical structure, layered storage, and integrated display.
The Arundel Colonnade Modular Shelving System brings together display, concealed organization, lighting, and spatial definition in one continuous composition. It is designed for rooms where storage should work hard—but still feel like part of the architecture.
